Default PTT switch source

Do any of you know where I can buy a small PTT switch similar to the one that comes with the teak stick grips?

I'm in the process of installing an autopilot in my -9 and would like to drill a hole in my teak grip and insert a PTT switch under my index finger to use as an autopilot disconnect.

Yes... but all little switches are not alike....

You need one here with a nice snap action, both in an electrical and mechanical sense.

Perhaps a visit to an electronics supply store in the nearest big city might be in order...
